Brunswick: three white people charged in the murder of Ahmaud Arber have no right to claim self defense because they are people who provoke confrontation with a 25-year-old black man while he ran in their neighborhood, a prosecutor told the jury in the cover argument Last Tuesday.
`You can’t claim self-defense if you are an irreggressor who cannot be justified,” said Linda Dunikoski.
